#0- So this is a blog

Some of my prior use with technology includes a struggling 10 year old with a key board cover. Attempting to memorize what letters belong to what keys. I never really used technology to it's full potential growing up, however, I have used it more in the past five years. During high school I did use an iPad to hold some of my textbooks and write papers for my English class.


I hope to learn more about what technology K-12 classrooms are using currently to educate kids in this class. As a camp counselor I did get a small taste of how much kids are use to phones and computers and how they are such a big part of their personal lives, but I have not been exposed to kids and technology in a classroom setting. I am exited about meeting my classmates and instructor because I just want to absorb all the knowledge she throws our way.


I learned that I am a visual learner today from the questionnaire that I filled out. Which was no surprise, because I have always known that I am in love with charts, colors and the clarity that comes with them. I also discovered that I am an active learner, and that I would prefer to be with a group of kids and problem solve. I love asking for other peoples ideas and getting a fresh take on things. Another aspect I learned about my learning style is that I like applying what I learn in the classroom to the real world. I love knowing how what I am doing in the present will matter in the future.
